Beuphonium Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Well, after a three-day multiple-trip-to-the-hardware-store ordeal, my 2004 Cafe Sport is now wearing a silver magni kit. It certainly has changed the look and feel of the bike, and it is still going to need a lot of tweaking I think in that there are some rattles. Those magni clip-ons really do significantly lower the riding position, especially from the normal cafe sport bars! I am definitely considering investing in some different controls- I have heard some things about woodcraft, harris, vortex, I know harris at least makes a high-rise version. I also expected that the headlight would sit flush in the faring, and not stick out the front 2"? is something weird here? Anybody have any experiences with these? - Joe K 04 Cafe Sport 84 V65SP
Wick Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 When I had MPH put o.e.m. clip-ons and get rid of the frame mounted windscreen for a bar mounted one on my Cafe Sport, we had to replace the headlight with the legacy Bosch unit to get rid of that 2" protrusion. Wick
Paul Minnaert Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 The kit is made for the v11 sport headlight, that's different
windchill Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Got any pictures? I would dearly like to change the OE half fairing on my LeMans for some sort of twin headlight more "retro" looking item. Anyone got any ideas?

Anyone got any ideas? 94022[/snapback] I was going to post an ebay link to a twin headlamp aftermarket fairing, but it has already finished. <_> I put an LM2 fairing on mine. There was also similar twin headlamp version by Sprint IIRC My LM2 Fairing Project. Nige.
Beuphonium Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Here is what I have so far... http://home.comcast.net/~beuphonium/pictures.html - Joe K
windchill Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 That sort of fairing, but with twin lights. Like the old Bol d'Or racers of the 70/80s
Ballacraine Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 Yes, I seem to remember Crossbow doing a very nice looking one for the earlier Le mans? Nige.
Ouiji Veck Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Nige that V11 LMII is a stroke of genius. I love it. The Magni is one of my Favs too.
Greg Field Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Since mounting my Billy Bob's headlight on V11 Sport headlight mounts, I have put both the Guzzi carbon-fiber fairing and the Coppa fairing on, and there was no 2 inch extension with either fairing.
